History

The church was built at the beginning of the 13th century in late Romanesque style. It is the oldest building of Zsolna. According to the tradition its predecessor was built by St. Stephen of Hungary in memory of the battle against Boleslaw I of Poland. In the apse the illustrations of St. Stephen, St. lmre, St. László and St. Elisabeth of Hungary can be seen. The Jesuits reconstructed the church in Baroque style in 1762.

The Chapel of the Body of Christ next to the church is from the 15th century. The church is surrounded by a 16th century stone wall with a bastion.
